'There's not one single new fact to review other than the accusations that have been made against the people in California (TE LACU)." He said that at the lime he and his Virginia colleagues teamed up with TELACU to acquire the station, he didn't know TELACU was the subject of a federal criminal proiie. "We have no way of guaranteeing every person we're doing business with." Loving said.

TELACU officials refused to comment. Continued from Third Fife the Broadcast Bureau from granting approval of the sale on March 15. But FIX' official Stuart Bedell explained that while the documents are not new. "we want to lake a second look at them in light of certain information that has been highlighted" in newspaper articles and legal petitions made by LDA. Bedell said il was "rare" for the Broadcast Bureau to issue an order reversing its own approval.

The action was taken pursuant to a section of the law that gives the bureau 30 days to reconsider or modify a decision. The Hartford UHF television station is now owned by the Faith Center, a Glendale-based church headed by controversial preacher Eugene Scott. The center has been under investigation for alleged improper on-the-air fund-raising practices. The FCC allows a broadcaster facing an investigation that could lead to loss of a license to avoid the probe by selling the station at 75. of its market value to a minority -owned and controlled firm.

In December, the FCC granted the Failh Center's "distress sale" to TCH-the Hartford firm at a discounted price of $4 million, despite LDA objections thai Ihe firm was not truly a minority-controlled company. LDA later appealed the commission's ruling in court. After articles by The Times, LDA made a motion "to remand the whole mess to the commission" and also filed a request for review with the Broadcast Bureau. Bedell said. Order Hailed LDA lawyer Joseph Hennessey stated that stockholder and purchase agreements filed by the Hartford firm in February show that the company is not truly a minority-controlled firm.

He hailed the Broadcast Bureau's order as a victory, saying. "They killed the sale." However, a spokesman for the Virginians, Seersucker keeps you cool for Summer.

CURBS: Limits on Welfare Likely Mother Drops Son From River Bridge By NIESON HIMMEL. Times Staff Writer A 6-year-old boy was critically injured Monday when his mother dropped him to the concrete bed of the Los Angeles River from a bridge in Paramount. Los Angeles County sheriffs deputies reported. Jason Mack was admitted to Dominguez Valley Hospital for treatment of a ruptured spleen and other possible internal injuries. Paramedics said the boy was conscious when they arrived, but could not tell them why his mother had dropped him.

Three passers-by and another witness who works at a nearby golf course told sheriff's investigators that at about 11:50 a.m. a woman, later identified as LaFrieda Jamison, 36, of Compton, walked to the middle of the Comp-ton Avenue bridge with her son, hoisted him over the bridge railing, and then dangled him holding him by the hands above the river, 60 feet below. The witnesses told investigators the woman held her son there for about 90 seconds, and then propelled him suddenly downward with "a throwing motion." The child missed the water, which is a mere stream less than two feet wide at that point, and struck the concrete. Afterward, witnesses said, the mother stood looking down at her child while paramedics were summoned. Compton police arrived and took her into custody.

It was later discovered that the site was in the Sheriff's Department's territory. Deputies took the woman to the Lakewood sheriff's station, where they booked her on suspicion of attempted murder. She was held without bail. plus other programs for which aid for children program recipients are eligible, including Medi-Cal (child aid program recipients receive about $1.1 billion worth of free medical services annually), food stamps, social services and in some cases, subsidized housing and child care, the costs of which are shared with the federal government. State Legislative Analyst William G.

Hamm, in a much-discussed report, added up all the possible benefits and concluded that a family of three in the child aid program would be in line for a benefit package of between $10,800 and $13,583 a year, depending on whether the family received subsidized housing. A family of five, Hamm said, would be eligible for a package with a value of between $17,196 and $20,856, depending on whether the family received a housing subsidy. Hamm said, however, that all of those benefits are not readily available, particularly subsidized housing and child care, both of which are in limited supply and have long waiting lists. He said the "probable" cash value of the benefits for a family of three was $688 a month, or $8,310 a year. Still, at a time when the recession is shrinking tax revenues, welfare programs are being forced to compete with all other state programs, and there appears to be widespread agreement that there will be some curbing of welfare programs this year.

Continued from 20th Page working at cross-purposes with the Reagan Administration, promoting work and job training for welfare recipients at a time when the federal government is enacting eligibility changes that are widely considered to be disincentives to work. Those who lost their eligibility in the dependent children program during the first round of Reagan Administration cuts were those recipients who had found jobs and were drawing salaries in addition to their benefits. In addition, none of the current proposals addresses the problem of child care a critically important issue for a program in which nearly two-thirds of the 1.5 million beneficiaries are children. Aid for dependent children, since its inception in 1935 as a cornerstone of the New Deal, has been a federal-state program designed primarily to ensure the welfare of children. Senate President Pro Tern David A.

Rober-ti (D-Los Angeles) is against any work program that would make it mandatory for a woman to accept a job or lose her benefits. "It's not their (the mothers') AFDC benefit; it's their children's. A heavy way to punish the parent is to starve their kids," he said. Like other legislators, Roberti is concerned about the high cost of financing welfare programs that include cash grants (a family of three receives a basic monthly grant of $506), 14.99 Fold -away tote on wheels.
